Methods, systems, and apparatus for initializing a dimensioning system based on a location of a vehicle carrying an object to be dimensioned. An example method disclosed herein includes receiving, from a location system, location data indicating a location of a vehicle carrying an object; responsive to the location data indicating that the vehicle is approaching an imaging area, initializing, using a logic circuit, a sensor to be primed for capturing data representative of the object; receiving, from a motion detector carried by the vehicle, motion data indicating a speed of the vehicle; and triggering, using the logic circuitry, the sensor to capture data representative of the object at a sample rate based on the speed of the vehicle.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor is a three dimensional sensor configured to generate depth values at each of a plurality of coordinates.
11. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a dimension of the object based on the captured data.
13. The tangible machine-readable medium as defined in claim 12, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine to analyze the motion data to determine the sample rate based on the speed of the vehicle and a processing capacity of the machine or the sensor.
